Entravision (NYSE: EVC) Q1 revenue surges 114% on ATS growth
Entravision Communications reported a sharp turnaround for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Net revenue rose to $196.97 million from $91.85 million, driven mainly by its Advertising Technology & Services (ATS) segment, which grew 204% to $154.55 million. Media segment revenue was $42.42 million.
The company moved from a net loss of $(47.97 million) a year earlier to net income of $12.36 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. Operating income reached $20.69 million, helped by the absence of prior-year impairment and lease-abandonment charges and strong ATS scale.
Operating cash flow improved to $21.78 million, supporting cash and cash equivalents of $68.17 million and marketable securities of $2.97 million as of March 31, 2026. Total assets were $436.39 million and total liabilities $371.43 million, including term debt under its credit facility.
Positive
- Triple-digit top-line growth and profit swing: Net revenue increased 114% year over year to $196.97 million, and Entravision moved from a $47.97 million net loss to $12.36 million of net income, indicating a materially improved earnings profile.
- Rapid expansion in ATS segment: Advertising Technology & Services revenue rose 204% to $154.55 million, becoming about 78% of total revenue and driving segment operating profit of $34.31 million, suggesting strong traction in the programmatic and performance marketing businesses.
- Stronger cash generation and liquidity: Operating cash flow improved to $21.78 million for the quarter, supporting $68.17 million of cash and $2.97 million of marketable securities as of March 31, 2026, while the company continued scheduled $5 million term-debt amortization.
Negative
- None.
Insights
Entravision delivered triple-digit revenue growth and returned to profitability, powered by its ATS segment.
Entravision more than doubled quarterly revenue to $196.97 million, with ATS revenue up 204% to $154.55 million. Management ties this to higher monthly active advertisers and revenue per advertiser, supported by investments in AI-driven programmatic buying and added sales capacity.
Media revenue was roughly flat at $42.42 million, reflecting ongoing pressure in traditional broadcast offset by digital and retransmission growth. Cost of revenue and operating expenses rose with scale, but the company avoided 2025’s $23.7 million impairment and $25.2 million lease-abandonment charges, allowing operating income to reach $20.69 million.
Net income of $12.36 million versus a large prior-year loss, plus operating cash flow of $21.78 million, strengthens liquidity, with $68.17 million in cash and $2.97 million in marketable securities. Debt under the Term A facility amortizes quarterly, and interest expense declined modestly as principal fell and rates eased.

Under the network affiliation agreement, the Company retains the right to sell no less than four minutes per hour of the available advertising time on stations that broadcast Univision network programming, and the right to sell approximately four and a half minutes per hour of the available advertising time on stations that broadcast UniMás network programming, subject to adjustment from time to time by TelevisaUnivision.
Under the network affiliation agreement, TelevisaUnivision acts as the Company’s exclusive third-party sales representative for the sale of certain national advertising on the Univision- and UniMás-affiliate television stations, and the Company pays certain sales representation fees to TelevisaUnivision relating to sales of all advertising for broadcast on its Univision- and UniMás-affiliate television stations.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures all stock-based awards using a fair value method and recognizes the related stock-based compensation expense in the condensed consolidated financial statements over the requisite service period. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.
Restricted Stock Units
Stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units ("RSUs") is based on the fair value of the Company’s stock price on the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, generally between

Impairment
The carrying values of the Company's reporting units are determined by allocating all applicable assets (including goodwill) and liabilities based upon the unit in which the assets are employed and to which the liabilities relate, considering the methodologies utilized to determine the fair value of the reporting units.
Goodwill and indefinite life intangibles are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The annual testing date is October 1.
As discussed above under Assets held for sale, in March 2025, the Company has entered into an agreement to sell the assets of its
Loss on Lease Abandonment
At the time of a lease termination, the operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") asset is derecognized, while the corresponding lease liability is evaluated and derecognized by the Company based any remaining contractual obligations as of the lease termination date.
The Company’s corporate headquarters and main operational offices for its audio operations are currently located in Burbank, California. The Company's corporate headquarters and main operational offices for its audio operations were previously located in Santa Monica, California. The Company occupied approximately
In addition, the Company has abandoned six additional leased facilities, with impacted employees transitioning to remote work. See more details under "Restructuring" below. The Company does not expect to incur additional liabilities related to these abandoned leases.
Restructuring
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company's management began to implement an ongoing organization design plan (the "Plan") intended to support revenue growth and reduce expenses, primarily in the Company’s media operations.
Key components of the Plan that have been implemented so far include a reduction of approximately

Credit Facility
The Company entered into the Credit Facility, pursuant to the Original 2023 Credit Agreement dated as of March 17, 2023, by and among the Company, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the other financial institutions party thereto as
13
Lenders (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually each a “Lender”). The Original 2023 Credit Agreement amended, restated and replaced in its entirety the Company's previous credit agreement. The Original 2023 Credit Agreement was amended as of July 15, 2025, effective as of June 30, 2025 (the “2025 Amendment”), with respect to certain financial covenants and certain other provisions of the Credit Facility, and was further amended as of March 18, 2026 (the “2026 Amendment”), with respect to a certain administrative clarification of the calculation of financial covenants. The Original 2023 Credit Agreement, the 2025 Amendment and the 2026 Amendment are collectively referred to as the “Amended Credit Agreement”.
As provided in the Amended Credit Agreement, the Credit Facility consists of (i) a $
The Credit Facility is guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries, and secured on a first priority basis by the Company’s and those subsidiaries’ assets.
The Company’s borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the Term SOFR (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin between
As of March 31, 2026, the interest rate on the Company's Term A Facility and the drawn portion of the Revolving Credit Facility was
The amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility may be prepaid at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, provided that certain limitations are observed, and subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of a Term SOFR loan. The principal amount of the Term A Facility shall be paid in installments on the dates and in the respective amounts set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement, with the final balance due on the Maturity Date.
The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $
The Company paid the lenders consenting to the 2025 Amendment a fee equal to
The Company incurred additional debt issuance costs of $
The covenants of the Amended Credit Agreement include customary negative covenants that, among other things, restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens and make certain acquisitions, investments, asset dispositions and restricted payments. In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement requires compliance with financial covenants related to Total Net Leverage Ratio, not to exceed
In addition, the Amended Credit Agreement:
The Amended Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, as well as the following events of default, that are specific to the Company:

The Amended Credit Agreement further includes customary rights and remedies upon the occurrence of any event of default thereunder, including rights to accelerate the loans, terminate the commitments thereunder and realize upon the collateral securing the obligations under the Amended Credit Agreement.
There is a security agreement in effect with respect to the Credit Facility.
The carrying amount of the Term Loan A Facility as of March 31, 2026 approximated its fair value and was $
Concentrations of Credit Risk and Trade Receivables
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company has bank deposits in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. As of March 31, 2026, the majority of all U.S. deposits are maintained in three financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not currently exposed to significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. In addition, to the Company's knowledge, all or substantially all of the bank deposits held in banks outside the United States are not insured.
The Company’s credit risk is spread across a large number of advertisers, thereby spreading the trade receivable credit risk. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that it is managing its trade receivable credit risk effectively. Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables, based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for known and anticipated credit losses, as determined by management in the course of regularly evaluating individual customer receivables. This evaluation takes into consideration a customer’s financial condition and credit history, as well as current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. No interest is charged on customer accounts.
Trade receivables from the two largest advertisers represented
Revenue from the largest advertiser represented 36% of the Company's total revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. This advertiser pays on a current basis and therefore management believes that it is managing this risk.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The accounts receivable consist of a homogeneous pool of relatively small dollar amounts from a large number of customers. We evaluate the collectability of our trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. When the Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount the Company believes will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on the Company's recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable amounts outstanding.
Estimated losses for bad debts are provided for in the consolidated financial statements through a charge that aggregated $
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date.
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below.
15
Level 1 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices for similar attributes in active markets; quoted prices in markets where trading occurs infrequently; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in millions):

The Company’s money market account is comprised of cash and cash equivalents, which are recorded at their fair market value within Cash and cash equivalents in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company’s available for sale debt securities are comprised of corporate bonds and notes, asset-backed securities, and U.S. Government securities. These securities are valued using quoted prices for similar attributes in active markets (Level 2). Since these investments are classified as available for sale, they are recorded at their fair market value within Marketable securities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and their unrealized gains or losses are included in other comprehensive income. Realized gains and losses from the sale of available for sale securities are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and were determined on a specific identification basis.
As of March 31, 2026, the following table summarizes the amortized cost and the unrealized gains (losses) of the available for sale securities (in thousands):

3. REVENUES
Revenue Recognition
Revenues are recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to the Company’s customers, in an amount equal to the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.
Broadcast Advertising. Revenue related to the sale of advertising on the Company's television and radio stations is recognized at the time of broadcast. Revenue for contracts with advertising agencies is recorded at an amount that is net of the commission retained by the agency. Revenue from contracts directly with the advertisers is recorded as gross revenue and the related commission or national representation fee is recorded in operating expense.
Digital Advertising. Revenue related to digital advertising, in both our media and ATS segments, is recognized when display or other digital advertisements record impressions on the websites and mobile and Internet-connected television apps of media companies on whose digital platforms the advertisements are placed or as the advertiser’s previously agreed-upon performance criteria are satisfied. The Company has concluded that it is the principal in the transaction and therefore recognizes revenue on a gross basis, because (i) the Company is responsible for fulfillment of the contract, including customer support, resolving customer complaints, and accepting responsibility for the quality or suitability of the product or service; (ii) the Company has pricing discretion over the transaction; and (iii) the Company carries inventory risk for all inventory purchased regardless of whether the Company is able to collect on a transaction.
17
Retransmission Consent. The Company generates revenue from retransmission consent agreements that are entered into with multichannel video programming distributors ("MVPDs"). The Company grants the MVPDs access to its television station signals so that they may rebroadcast the signals and charge their subscribers for this programming. Revenue is recognized as the television signal is delivered to the MVPD.
Spectrum Usage Rights. The Company generates revenue from agreements associated with its television stations’ spectrum usage rights. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the contractual fees over the term of the agreement or when the Company has relinquished all or a portion of its spectrum usage rights for a station or have relinquished its rights to operate a station on the existing channel free from interference.
The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations when (i) contracts have an original expected length of one year or less, which applies to essentially all of the Company's advertising contracts, and (ii) variable consideration is a sales-based or usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property, which applies to retransmission consent revenue.
The Company expenses contract acquisition costs, such as sales commissions generated either by internal direct sales employees or through third party advertising agency intermediaries, when incurred because the amortization period is one year or less. These costs are recorded within direct operating expenses.
The Company records deferred revenues within Accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, when cash payments are received or due in advance of its performance, including amounts which are refundable. The change in the deferred revenue balance is primarily driven by cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligations, offset by revenues recognized that were included in the deferred revenue balance in the prior period.
The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of customer and the products or services offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is typically 30 days. For certain individual customers and customer types, the Company generally requires payment before the services are delivered to the customer.

4. LEASES
The Company’s leases are considered operating leases and primarily consist of real estate such as office space, broadcasting towers, land and land easements. The operating leases are reflected within the consolidated balance sheet as Operating leases right of use asset with the related liability presented as Operating lease liabilities and Long-term operating lease liabilities. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, lease terms include options to renew or extend the lease. Unless the renewal option is considered reasonably certain, the exercise of any such options has been excluded from the calculation of lease liabilities.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
We are a media and advertising technology company.
Our media business owns and operates one of the largest groups of Spanish-language television and radio stations in the United States. Our mission is to serve our Latino audience as a trusted provider of news, information, and entertainment. We serve our advertisers by providing marketing capabilities across broadcast and digital media.
Our advertising technology & services (ATS) business empowers advertisers, primarily mobile app developers, to grow their businesses globally. We provide programmatic advertising solutions through two brands. Smadex is a demand-side platform, which uses proprietary AI to automate media buying. Adwake is a performance-based digital marketing agency.
We have organized our operations into two reportable segments. Our media segment includes its television, radio and digital marketing operations. Our ATS segment provides programmatic advertising and technology services through Smadex and Adwake.
Our net revenue for the three-months period ended March 31, 2026 was $197.0 million. Of this amount, revenue generated by our media segment accounted for approximately 22%, and revenue generated by our ATS segment accounted for approximately 78% of total revenue.
Highlights
During the first quarter of 2026, our revenue grew by triple digits, driven primarily by revenue growth in our ATS segment, partially offset by a decrease in revenue in our media segment compared to the comparable period of 2025. In addition, during the first quarter of 2026:
Relationship with TelevisaUnivision
Our network affiliation agreement with TelevisaUnivision provides certain of our owned stations the exclusive right to broadcast TelevisaUnivision’s primary Univision network and UniMás network programming in their respective markets. We also generate revenue under a marketing and sales agreement with TelevisaUnivision, which gives us the right to manage the marketing and sales operations of TelevisaUnivision-owned Univision affiliates in three markets – Albuquerque, Boston and Denver. Under our proxy agreement with TelevisaUnivision, we grant TelevisaUnivision the right to negotiate the terms of retransmission consent agreements with multichannel video programming distributors, or MVPDs, for our Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television station signals. Revenue generated from retransmission consent agreements represents payments from MVPDs for access to our television station signals so that they may rebroadcast our signals and charge their subscribers for this programming. The term of each of these current agreements expires on December 31, 2026 for all of our Univision and UniMás network affiliate stations. TelevisaUnivision also owns approximately 10% of our common stock on a fully-converted basis. For more information regarding these agreements and the stock that TelevisaUnivision owns, see Note 2 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
For a description of our critical accounting policies, please refer to “Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates” in Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our 2025 10-K.

Consolidated Operations
Net Revenue. Net revenue increased to $197.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 from $91.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.4 million in net revenue from our media segment, and an increase of $103.7 million in net revenue from our ATS segment.
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue increased to $102.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 from $33.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $2.1 million in cost of revenue from our media segment, and an increase of $66.4 million in cost of revenue from our ATS segment.
Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses increased to $44.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 from $35.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.6 million in direct operating expenses in our media segment, and an increase of $7.7 million in direct operating expenses in our ATS segment.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $18.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, from $15.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $0.5 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in our media segment, and an increase of $2.1 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in our ATS segment.
Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses decreased to $7.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 from $7.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.4 million in audit fees and other professional services, a decrease of $0.2 million in rent expense, and a decrease of $0.2 million in cloud expense, partially offset by an increase of $0.8 million in bonus expense and an increase of $0.5 million in non-cash stock-based compensation.
23
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $3.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to $3.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to fully depreciated assets and fully amortized intangible assets.
Impairment. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, we incurred an impairment charge of $23.7 million related to broadcast licenses and fixed assets of the two television stations in Mexico that are held for sale.
Loss on lease abandonment. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, we incurred a loss on lease abandonment of $25.2 million related to our previous Santa Monica lease.
Restructuring costs. During the third quarter of 2025 our management began to implement the Plan, intended to support revenue growth and reduce expenses, primarily in our media operations. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, we recorded $1.0 million in restructuring costs.
Foreign currency (gain) loss. Foreign currency gains and losses are primarily due to currency fluctuations that affect our operations located outside the United States.
We had a foreign currency loss of $0.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, and a de minimis foreign currency loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net decreased to $3.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 from $3.1 million for three-month period ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to lower interest rate on our debt and a lower principal balance.
Realized gain (loss) on marketable securities. For each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 we recorded a de minimis amount of realized gain related to our available for sale securities.
Income Tax Expense or Benefit. Income tax expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 was $5.4 million, or 30% of our pre-tax income. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 was different from our statutory rate due to foreign and state taxes, non-deductible executive compensation, share-based compensation from foreign employees, and Net Controlled Foreign Corporation Tested Income. Income tax benefit for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 was $8.1 million, or 14% of our pre-tax loss. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 was different from our statutory rate due to foreign and state taxes, changes in valuation allowances on deferred tax assets, non deductible executive compensation, share-based compensation from foreign employees, and transaction costs.
Our management periodically evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are, or are not, realizable, adjusts the valuation allowance accordingly. Valuation allowances are established and maintained for deferred tax assets on a “more likely than not” threshold. The process of evaluating the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and the amount maintained in any such allowance is highly subjective and is based on many factors, several of which are subject to significant judgment calls.
Based on our analysis, we determined that it was more likely than not that our deferred tax assets would be realized for all jurisdictions with the exception of certain of our digital operations, certain U.S. Foreign Tax Credit carryovers and certain states deferred tax assets. As a result of historical losses from our digital operations primarily in Uruguay, Mexico and Argentina, certain U.S. Foreign Tax Credit carryovers, and capital loss, management has determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets of $18.4 million at March 31, 2026 will not be realized and therefore we have established a valuation allowance in that amount on those assets.
The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar 2 guidelines address the increasing digitalization of the global economy, re-allocating taxing rights among countries. The OECD, many other member states and various other governments have adopted, or are in the process of adopting, Pillar 2 which calls for a global minimum tax of 15% to be effective for tax years beginning in 2024. The OECD guidelines published to date include transition and safe harbor rules around the implementation of the Pillar 2, global minimum tax. On January 5, 2026, the OECD released the “Side-by-Side” (SbS) Safe Harbor guidance, effective January 1, 2026. This guidance provides a framework for coordinating the U.S. tax system with Pillar 2 rules, potentially limiting top-up tax liabilities for qualifying periods. The Company included the tax impact of Pillar 2 in the income tax for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, based on the rules effective for that period, and continues to evaluate the impact of the Side-by-Side guidance on future periods.
On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which made certain changes to the current tax law and extended certain other tax provisions. We have analyzed the impact of these changes, noting that the main tax law changes that impacted us in 2026 are related to depreciation and Section 163(j) interest expense limitation. We will not take bonus depreciation in 2026 since given our tax position, the impact on this is nil. Regarding the Section 163(j) limitation, we believe that this will result in less taxable income to us.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had unrecognized tax benefits of $31.8 million and $31.7 million. We will recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Segment Operations
Our media segment consists of sales of advertising through various media, including television, radio and digital. We own and/or operate one of the largest groups of Spanish-language television and radio stations in the United States. Our assets include 47 television stations and 44 radio stations (37 FM and 7 AM). These stations are concentrated in 13 of the 20 highest-density Latino markets in the United States. We are the largest affiliate group of the Spanish-language Univision and UniMás networks, which are owned by TelevisaUnivision. We also provide digital marketing services for businesses targeting Latino consumers.
Our ATS segment provides global performance marketing solutions primarily to mobile app developers. We operate this segment through two distinct business units: Smadex, our programmatic advertising platform; and Adwake, our performance-based marketing agency.
Media
Net Revenue. Net revenue in our media segment increased to $42.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 from $41.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.3 million in digital advertising revenue, an increase of $0.3 million in retransmission consent revenue, and an increase of $0.2 million in other revenue, partially offset by a decrease of $1.3 million in broadcast advertising revenue and a decrease of $1.0 million in spectrum usage rights revenue.
In general, the traditional broadcast industry is continuing to experience dramatic transformation. Most of our broadcast stations face declining audiences, which we believe is the situation across the industry, competitive factors with the other major Spanish-language broadcasters, and changing demographics and preferences of audiences, particularly younger audiences, in terms of the media they prefer to consume, including streaming and social media. In particular, the radio broadcast industry remains in a general state of decline as a result of numerous factors, including technological advancements in how audiences consume audio content, such as podcasts overtaking talk radio, leading to fragmentation in radio audiences; changing consumer preferences especially among younger audiences who tend to prefer interactive and on-demand experiences over the linear broadcast model; economic pressures in the form of certain high fixed operational costs; and competition with other forms of media, especially digital, for advertising revenue. We anticipate that these changes in viewer habits and preferences will persist at least for the foreseeable future and possibly permanently.
Additionally, we have previously noted a trend for advertising to move increasingly from traditional media, such as television and radio, to new media, such as digital media, and we expect this trend will also continue at least for the foreseeable future and possibly permanently. While we believe that none of these new technologies and services can completely replace local broadcast stations due to the element of localism that traditional broadcasting offers, the challenges we face in our broadcast operations from new technologies and services will persist and continue to present significant challenges, requiring attention, adaptability and action from management. We must continue to address these changes, including the need to further adjust our business strategies accordingly. Among the steps we have taken so far has been an emphasis on increasing local news and digital offerings, and their integration with our broadcast offerings. No assurances can be given that these or other strategies will be successful in meeting the changes and challenges we face.
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue in our media segment increased to $5.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 from $3.3 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to the increase in costs associated with the increase in digital advertising revenue and a decrease in gross margins.
Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses in our media segment increased to $28.1 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 from $26.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase of $1.0 million in expenses associated with the increase in revenue, an increase of $0.1 million in salaries and other employee benefits, and an increase of $0.7 million in other items which were individually immaterial, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in non-cash stock-based compensation.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our media segment increased to $11.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 from $10.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase of $0.3 million in salaries and other employee benefits, an increase of $0.5 million in bad debt expense, and an increase of $0.2 million in other items which were individually immaterial, partially offset by a decrease in rent expense of $0.4 million.
Advertising Technology & Services
Net Revenue. Net revenue in our ATS segment increased to $154.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 from $50.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in advertising revenue from Smadex, including a large customer in Asia that we acquired in the second half of 2025, and an increase in advertising revenue from Adwake.
25
Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue in our ATS segment increased to $96.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 from $30.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to costs associated with the increase in digital advertising revenue.
We have previously noted a trend on a global basis in our ATS operations whereby advertisers are demanding more efficiency and lower cost from intermediaries like us. In response to this general trend, we have been offering our programmatic purchasing platform, Smadex, to advertisers, which lowers cost to our advertising customers. Among other things, this has led to lower margins in the products and services we sell, which we anticipate will persist for at least the foreseeable future and possibly permanently. The digital advertising industry as a whole remains dynamic and continues to undergo rapid changes in technology, customer expectation and competition. We expect this trend to continue and possibly accelerate. We must continue to address these dynamic and rapid changes, including the need to further adjust our business strategies, make appropriate investments in our technology and offer new products and services, as appropriate. No assurances can be given that the strategies we have pursued and investments we have made, and those we may pursue or make in the future will be successful.
Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses in our ATS segment increased to $16.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 from $9.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase of $4.5
million in cloud infrastructure expenses, an increase of $2.9 million in salaries and bonus expense, and an increase of $0.3 million in other items which were individually immaterial.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our ATS segment increased to $6.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, from $4.7 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an increase of $1.8 million in salaries and an increase of $0.3 million in on-premise software expense.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
While we have a history of operating losses in some periods and operating income in other periods, we also have a history of generating significant positive cash flows from our operations. We had net loss attributable to common stockholders of $79.2 million, $148.9 million and $15.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We had positive cash flow from operations of $10.6 million, $74.7 million and $75.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. We had positive cash flow from operations of $21.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. For at least the next twelve months, we expect to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and payments of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness, with cash on hand and cash flows from operations.
We currently believe that our cash position is sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses and debt service requirements for at least the next twelve months from the issuance of this report. We believe that our position is strengthened by cash and cash equivalents on hand, in the amount of $68.2 million, and available for sale marketable securities in the additional amount of $3.0 million, as of March 31, 2026. Our liquidity is not materially affected by the amounts held in accounts outside the United States.
To the extent that our then-current liquidity is insufficient to fund our business activities or if we do not remain in compliance with our financial covenants under the Amended Credit Agreement, we may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing in the future to satisfy capital requirements. There is no guarantee that any such capital would be available to us on favorable terms, or at all. The failure to obtain any required capital could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition.
Credit Facility
On March 17, 2023, we entered into our Credit Facility, pursuant to the Original 2023 Credit Agreement, by and among us, Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the Lenders. The Original 2023 Credit Agreement amended, restated and replaced in its entirety our previous credit agreement. The Original 2023 Credit Agreement was amended as of July 15, 2025, effective as of June 30, 2025, with respect to certain financial covenants and certain other provisions of our Credit Facility and was further amended as of March 18, 2026, with respect to a certain administrative clarification of the calculation of financial covenants.
For more information, see Note 2 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cash Flow
Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $21.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to net cash flow used in operating activities of $15.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The change in cash flow from operating activities was primarily due to an increase in net changes in our working capital of positive $2.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to negative $20.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The net changes in working capital were primarily due to the timing of cash payments to publishers and collections from customers. The increase in cash flow from operating activities was also due to an increase in net income after adjusting for non-cash items. Significant non-cash items in the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 included depreciation and amortization expense of $3.0 million, and non-cash stock based compensation of $3.3 million. Significant non-cash items in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 included impairment charges of $23.7 million, loss on lease abandonment charges of $25.2 million, depreciation and amortization
26
expense of $3.5 million, deferred income taxes of $1.5 million, and non-cash stock based compensation of $2.6 million. We expect to have positive cash flow from operating activities for the full year 2026.
Net cash flow used in investing activities was $2.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to net cash flow used in investing activities of $2.5 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The change in net cash flow used in investing activities was primarily due to purchases of property and equipment of $3.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to $2.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, partially offset by proceeds from the sale of marketable securities of $0.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.4 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
We anticipate that our capital expenditures will be approximately $9.0 million during the full year 2026. The amount of our anticipated capital expenditures may change based on future changes in business plans and our financial condition and general economic conditions. We expect to fund capital expenditures with cash on hand and net cash flow from operations.
Net cash flow used in financing activities was $10.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, compared to $4.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The change in cash flow used in financing activities was primarily due to $5.0 million of payments on debt and $0.5 million of tax payments related to shares withheld for share-based compensation during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, both of which did not occur in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
General
Market risk represents the potential loss that may affect our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows due to adverse changes in the financial markets. We are also exposed to market risk from changes in the base rates on our Credit Facility.
Interest Rates
As of March 31, 2026, we had $162.7 million of variable rate bank debt outstanding under our Credit Facility. Our borrowings bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the Term SOFR (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin between 2.50% and 3.00%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) or (ii) the Base Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) plus a margin between 1.50% and 2.00%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio. In addition, the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to a rate per annum between 0.30% and 0.40%, depending on the Total Net Leverage Ratio.
Because our debt is subject to interest at a variable rate, our earnings will be affected in future periods by changes in interest rates. For example, if the SOFR were to increase or decrease by a hypothetical 100 basis points, or one percentage point, from its March 31, 2026 level, our annual interest expense would increase or decrease, respectively, and cash flow from operations would decrease or increase, respectively, by $1.6 million based on the outstanding balance of our term loan as of March 31, 2026.
Foreign Currency
We have certain foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Historically, our revenues have primarily been denominated in U.S. dollars, and the majority of our current revenues continue to be, and are expected to remain, denominated in U.S. dollars. However, we have operations in countries other than the United States, primarily related to our ATS operations, and we expect a portion of our future revenues will be denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro. The effect of an immediate and hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign exchange rates on foreign-denominated accounts receivable at March 31, 2026 would not be material to our consolidated results of operations or overall financial condition.
Our operating expenses are primarily denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, certain of our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, primarily Spain, which uses the Euro. Currency fluctuations or a weakening U.S. dollar can increase the amount of operating expense of our international operations, which are primarily related to our ATS operations. Increases and decreases in foreign-denominated revenue from movements in foreign exchange rates are partially offset by corresponding decreases or increases in foreign-denominated operating expenses.
To date, we have not entered into any foreign currency hedging contracts, since exchange rate fluctuations historically have not had a material effect on our operating results and cash flows.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information relating to our company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this quarterly report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to various outstanding claims and other legal proceedings that may arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, any liability that may arise out of or with respect to these matters will not materially adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On or about July 22, 2025, our now former landlord of our former headquarters in Santa Monica, California commenced litigation against us in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The plaintiff alleges that we breached our lease and the plaintiff seeks at least $31.5 million in damages. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on or about August 26, 2025 and we filed an answer on or about September 25, 2025, denying the plaintiff's allegations. Discovery has commenced and the court has tentatively set a trial date in June 2027. We intend to vigorously defend against the claims brought by the plaintiff and assert defenses to the claims raised.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
None.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES, USE OF PROCEEDS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $20 million of our Class A common stock. Under this share repurchase program, we are authorized to purchase shares of our Class A common stock from time to time through open market purchases or negotiated purchases, subject to market conditions and other factors.
We did not repurchase any shares of our Class A common stock during three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. As of March 31, 2026, we have repurchased a total of 1.8 million shares of our Class A common stock under this share repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $11.3 million, or an average price per share of $6.43. All such repurchased shares were retired as of March 31, 2026.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
Not applicable.
